Does anyone else have really fine/thin curly hair?

I’m always so jealous of these posts of thick curly hair. Although I’ve been doing CG for 10 years I know my hair will never look like that. When it’s less frizzy it clumps into big curls making it look thin. Separating the curls can sometimes make them see through if you know what I mean. Any tips???

Aww...thanks! I wish I had thicker hair....but alas. you get what you get no?

missing from photos is my full on xmen rogue stripe of grey. I always part my hair the same direction so it's really hard to see....but if I part my hair the other direction my hair looks entirely grey almost. it's pretty funny.

it's nice when the grey decides to poke out of my hair when it falls to the side and makes a highlight of grey on my super dark hair. I've been dying it for YEARS.... but my kids begged me to stop for a bit. it's gotten about 6" long now.

Super thin and very fine textured curls. I hat ethe big clumps. I make certain I run my fingers through my hair upside down or side to side in the shower, even after the water is off. Finger combing to break them up. I only plop long enough to get dressed, less than five minutes. Then I use the towel to scrunch out the water. This helps break up the curls into smaller ringlets.

I noticed too, when I began the journey I had smaller ringlets but they began clumping bigger and bigger. I switched from heavier products to lighter and this helped also. My hair loves aloe products, is not certain about shea products and hates coconut anything.

Shake up your routine again. Watch some videos on hair similar to yours, see what they use and how they use it.

What kinds of products do you use now? I used devacurl no poo and one condition forever then switched it up but have since gone back. I use either volumizing foam or ultra defining gel or both and it is working great for my curls, but after a few hours they come together and I have a constant need to flip upside and shake out the roots. I will try the finger combing or combing after the shower. I saw a past post of someone who combed after the shower, so maybe it will work for me. Thanks for the advice and info!

Yep. Sure do. I don't get huge clumps though I get lots of waves and cork screw curls. A bit flat on top but that has a lot to do with the length. I've always had similar hair even when I had really thick hair. But my hairs texture and depth has changed in the last 5 years unfortunately.

Have you tried those metal hair clips for certain sections when drying? I bought them awhile ago and they didn’t work the first time I tried but used them this past week and I think it went better than before.

My hair is worse right now as I had 2 babies close together and have gone through postpartum hair loss twice, and pretty severely both times. Right now the layer of hair I lost has grown in about 2-3 inches. I’m hoping when it meets up with the rest it will help a bit but I’m still realistic about what my hair has been my whole life.

I have fine thin hair as well. Getting the hang of root clipping has helped a lot, but it’s a process. I get the whole “big clumps are great and all, but then I have 4 clumps total” thing. I do dry it with big clumps (pixie method with my Dyson). I find that SOTC and shaking the roots for volume breaks it up just enough.

My thinnest area is toward the rear of my crown. I side part and clip across the back of my head where the part ends before drying. This helps prevent big splits in the thinnest area. After I diffuse I also take another long alligator clip and run it over my part, gathering hair from either side. I sleep like that. The two clips kinda form a “T” on top of my head.
